University Theater (UT) builds on a strong tradition that began in 1898 and continues today under one unified organization. The symbiosis of practical and theoretical coursework with student-driven productions has created a thriving program that is unique to the University of Chicago. The program is designed to allow students to engage in all facets of the theatrical process.
Currently University Theater productions involve approximately 500 students, including actors, designers, directors, and production staffs with a yearly audience approaching 6,500.
